The birthplace of Pepys in 1633, the building was re-designed by Lutyens 300 years later for the Press Association and later served as Reuters head office for decades. In 2009, the building was taken over by Sir Terence and his restaurant group and named 'Lutyens' in homage of the architect, with an additional entertaining and events space named after Pepys.For an image of the Lutyens caricature bust see the Royal Institute of British Architects ref no. RIBA3080-37. This was originally provided to Sir Terence by RIBA after the purchase of the building, from which he commissioned artwork inspired by the original.The Samuel Pepys work is most likely based on the portrait by John Hayls at the National Portrait Gallery, ref no.

Verso auf der Leinwand sowie dem Keilrahmen verschiedentlich handschriftlich und typografisch nummeriert, dort mit altem Etikett des Künstlers zur Behandlung des Werkes. 150,5 x 116 cm (59,2 x 45,6 in). • Palmiés Ansichten der Münchner Altstadt um die Jahrhundertwende gehören zu seinen gefragtesten Sujets. • Unter dem Einfluss des französischen Impressionismus entwickelt Palmié ein unvergleichliches, höchst individuelles Kolorit. • Großformatige, ungemein atmosphärische Ansicht mit faszinierender Lichtstimmung. PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (aus Familienbesitz erhalten). 'Sein oft gemaltes Lieblingsmotiv: der Münchner Marienplatz als Herz der Stadt mit den schützenden Wahrzeichen der Mariensäule und den Türmen der Frauenkirche im Glanze bunter Lichter, ein Farbenfeuerwerk, das in neo-impressionistischer Behandlung fast an einen orientalischen Teppich gemahnt' Die Kunst für alle, Nr. 26, 1910-1911, S. 552. In vibrierender Farbigkeit gibt Palmié eines seiner Lieblingsmotive, den abendlichen Münchner Marienplatz nach einem Regenschauer, wieder. Die Fassade des Neuen Rathauses verschwimmt in dunklen violetten Tönen, ein durch die elektrische Beleuchtung grünlich erscheinendes Licht wabert durch die Straßen, in den Rathausarkaden verheißen die warm erleuchteten Fenster das schnelle Glück der Warenwelt. Mit unvergleichlicher Intensität macht Palmié hier die transformierende Kraft des Lichtes spürbar, das in allen Facetten des Spektrums in seiner Malerei gewürdigt wird. Die Ansicht des Marienplatzes konzentriert sich weniger auf eine präzise Wiedergabe architektonischer Details, sondern hält den flüchtigen Eindruck der Wetter- und Lichtphänomene fest. In diversen Ansichten diente Palmié – ähnlich wie Claude Monet die Kathedrale von Rouen in seinen seriellen Darstellungen – der zentrale Platz Münchens als malerisches und koloristisches Experimentierfeld, das er in immer neuen Farb- und Lichtstimmungen wiedergibt. Dabei wählt er einen Ausblick, bei dem in dieser Perspektive Monumente aus drei Jahrhunderten mit der mittelalterlichen Frauenkirche, der barocken Mariensäule und dem Neuen Rathaus aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts zusammen gezeigt werden können. Palmié visualisiert so auf raffinierte Weise den kontinuierlichen Wandel der Stadt, die er im Glanz der elektrischen Beleuchtung der Schaufenster als Bühne des modernen urbanen Lebens inszeniert. Palmié beginnt seine künstlerische Laufbahn mit einer Lehre als Dekorationsmaler und studiert anschließend an der Dresdner Akademie. 1884 siedelt er nach München über, wo er als Schüler von August Fink seine künstlerische Ausbildung vollendet. Palmié gehört zur Münchner 'Luitpold-Gruppe', die sich 1892 von der Münchner Künstlergenossenschaft abspaltet. Zudem ist er 1909 Gründungsmitglied der Neuen Künstlervereinigung München unter dem Vorsitz von Wassily Kandinsky, doch tritt er noch vor der ersten gemeinsamen Ausstellung im Winter 1909 wegen künstlerischer Differenzen aus. Zwei Jahre später stirbt er 1911 in München. Große Berühmtheit erlangt der Künstler zunächst vor allem durch seine Landschaftsdarstellungen. Aus der Tradition der Freilichtmalerei des Biedermeiers kommend, wendet er sich später dem Impressionismus und Pointillismus zu. Unverkennbar ist auch hier der Einfluss der französischen Impressionisten in Bezug auf die Motivwahl einer Stadtansicht, der Perspektive von oben und dem tupfenhaften Pinselduktus, vorformuliert in deren Darstellungen der Pariser Boulevards und Plätzen. Vermutlich kennt Palmié deren Gemälde, die erstmals 1891 auf der Ausstellung im Münchner Glaspalast präsentiert werden - darunter vier von Claude Monet, Seestücke und eine winterliche Landschaft.

Lower left signed, inscribed and dated 'München 08'. Verso of the canvas and the stretcher with several numbers (by hand and in typography), and with an old label inscribed by the artist with care instructions. 150.5 x 116 cm (59.2 x 45.6 in). • Palmié's views of Munich's old town around the turn of the century are among his most sought-after works • Under the influence of French Impressionism, Palmié developed an incomparable, highly individual coloring • Large-format, extremely atmospheric view with a fascinating lighting mood. PROVENANCE: Privat collection North Rhine-Westphalia (obtained from family ownership). Using a range of vibrant colors, Palmié captures one of his favorite motifs, Munich’s Marienplatz in the evening after a rain shower. The façade of the New City Hall dissolves into dark purple tones, greenish light produced by electric lamps wafts through the streets, and the warmly illuminated shop windows in the City Hall arcades hold the promise of instant consumer gratification. In this painting, Palmié conveys with unparalleled intensity the transformative power of light, which his work celebrates in all possible shades of the spectrum. Rather than a precise rendering of architectural details, his view of Marienplatz captures the fleeting impression of weather and light phenomena. Much like Rouen Cathedral in Claude Monet’s serial portrayals, Munich’s central square, which Palmié reproduced in various views in ever changing shades of color and lights, served the painter as a frequent source of artistic and coloristic experimentation. Choosing a perspective that combines monuments from three centuries, he displays the medieval Church of Our Lady, the baroque St. Mary’s Column and the New Town Hall from the mid-19th century. Palmié thus presents an ingenious vision of the continuous transformation of the city, casting it as a backdrop for modern urban life bathed in the glow of the shop windows’ electric lighting.

Das Dresdener Atelier der 1905 von Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff und Fritz Bleyl in Dresden gegründeten Künstlergruppe 'Brücke' ist in den darauffolgenden Jahren nicht nur Lebens- und Arbeitsraum der jungen Maler, sondern auch Treffpunkt für viele weibliche Amateurmodelle, die insbesondere Kirchner in zahlreichen, aus dem Moment geborenen Zeichnungen skizziert. Ebenso wie sich Kirchners künstlerisches Schaffen in diesen Jahren gegen das traditionelle Kunstverständnis richtet, entspricht auch sein Privatleben nicht den konservativen Moralvorstellungen der Wilhelminischen Ära. In seinem mit Vorhängen und Paravents dekorierten Atelier gehen die weiblichen Modelle ein und aus, es herrscht eine ungezwungene und kreative Stimmung. In der hier angebotenen Aktdarstellung hält der ehemalige Architekturstudent Kirchner nicht nur eine alltägliche Atelierszene fest, sondern komponiert aus Interieur und sich auf Sitzmöbeln räkelnden Frauenakten ein fast architektonisches Figurenkonstrukt. Der die Modelle umgebende Raum öffnet die zunächst sehr dichte Darstellung und lenkt den Blick. Die bewusste Reduzierung auf wenige, selbstbewusst gezogene Linien bekräftigt den Eindruck einer durchdachten, sorgfältig erarbeiteten Komposition.

Kirchner and the other 'Brücke' artists. • The Dresden studio was not only the center of the 'Brücke' artists' activities, it was also a meeting point for many female amateur models. • In those days Kirchner also examined the motif of the lasciviously reclined female nude in the similar painting 'Liegender Akt mit Fächer' (1909, Kunsthalle Bremen).

The Dresden studio of the artists' group 'Brücke', founded by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Fritz Bleyl in Dresden in 1905, was not only the living and working space of the young painters, but also a place that attracted many female amateur models, whom E. L. Kirchner in particular sketched in numerous spontaneous drawings. Just as Kirchner's artistic ambitions of these years were directed against the traditional understanding of art, his private life did not conform with the conservative morals of the Wilhelminian Period, either. His studio, which was decorated with curtains and screens, had an an informal and creative atmosphere, and female models walked in and out. In the present nude drawing, the former architecture student E. L. Kirchner not only captured a common studio scene, but composed an almost architectural figure construct from the interior and the female nudes lolling on the seating furniture. The space surrounding the models opens up the very dense representation and directs the viewer's gaze. The deliberate reduction to a few poised drawn lines reinforces the impression of a well thought-out, carefully crafted composition. [CH] Called up: December 10, 2022 - ca. 17.44 h +/- 20 min.

Einladungskarten zu ihren Ausstellungen selbst zu gestalten, ist von Beginn an ein wichtiges Marketing-Tool der 'Brücke'-Künstler. Die Einladungskarte für die erste Gruppenausstellung der 'Brücke' im Mustersaal der Lampenfabrik Karl Max Seifert in der Gröbelstaße in Dresden-Löbtau entsteht im internen Wettbewerb mit Vorgaben wie Format, Text und auch für das Bildmotiv zwischen Heckel, Kirchner und Pechstein. Während Heckel und Pechstein die für Gebrauchsgrafiken gängige Technik der Zinkätzung wählen, bevorzugt Kirchner den Holzschnitt, was nicht nur seinem Bildmotiv Authentizität verleiht, sondern auch den Buchstaben und Worten eine eigene Kraft und Eindringlichkeit gibt. Dadurch wirkt der Text zwar etwas sperrig, fügt sich aber mit dem Bild zu einer kunstvollen und stimmigen Gestaltung. Kirchners Holzschnitt wird schließlich gedruckt. Ausgestellt haben vom 24. September bis Ende Oktober 1906 Amiet, Bleyl, Heckel, Kirchner, Nolde, Pechstein und Schmidt-Rottluff. Durch Heckels Arbeit als Zeichner, Assistent und Bauführer im Architekturbüro von Wilhelm Kreis lernen die 'Brücke'-Künstler den Fabrikanten Karl Max Seifert kennen. Kreis war mit dem Neubau von Seiferts Schauräumen beauftragt und setzte Heckel als Bauführer ein, der Seifert in diesem Zusammenhang für das Ausstellungsvorhaben begeistern kann. Fritz Bleyl erinnert sich später an die Umstände der Präsentation: 'Der Neubau an der Gröbelstraße war ein mittelgroßes, mehrräumiges Saalgebäude mit stoffbespannten Wandflächen, Parkettfußboden und Polstersesseln, von dessen Decke nun zwar die Kronleuchter herabhingen, dessen Wände aber noch leer waren und Gelegenheit zum vorteilhaften Aufhängen von Bildern boten.'

The creation of invitation cards for their exhibitions was an important marketing tool for the 'Brücke' artists from the very beginning. The invitation card for the first group exhibition of the 'Brücke' at the lamp factory Karl Max Seifert on Gröbelstaße in Dresden-Löbtau was the result of an internal competition between Heckel, Kirchner and Pechstein. While Heckel and Pechstein chose the zinc etching technique, which was common for commercial prints, Kirchner preferred the woodcut, which not only lends authenticity to his image motif, but also gives the letters and words an own strength and urgency. Although this makes the text seem somewhat bulky, it blends with the image to create an artistic and coherent design. Kirchner's woodcut was eventually printed. Amiet, Bleyl, Heckel, Kirchner, Nolde, Pechstein and Schmidt-Rottluff exhibited from September 24 to the end of October 1906. Through Heckel's work as a draftsman, assistant and construction foreman in Wilhelm Kreis's architectural office, the 'Brücke' artists became acquainted with the factory owner Karl Max Seifert. Kreis was commissioned with the new construction of Seifert's showrooms and appointed Heckel as construction foreman, who was able to inspire Seifert for the exhibition project in this context. Fritz Bleyl later recalled the circumstances of the presentation: 'The new building on Gröbelstraße was a medium-sized, multi-room hall with fabric-covered walls, parquet flooring and upholstered armchairs, and chandeliers hung from the ceiling, but the walls were still empty and waiting for the pictures.' (Fig.) (Hans Wentzel, Fritz Bleyl. Gründungsmitglied der Brücke, in: Kunst in Hessen und am Mittelrhein, 1968, p. 96) Today Heckel's and Pechstein's drafts for the invitation, as well as a draft for a list of the exhibited works are in the Brücke Museum Berlin.
